Advising Philosophy:
Academic Advising is an educational process that facilitates students’ understanding of the meaning, and purpose, of higher education. It fosters and encourages intellectual and personal development, academic success, and lifelong learning. Advising provides an opportunity to build a relationship with your advisor for the purpose of gaining assistance in planning your educational career, in learning the skills needed for academic success and how to access the services, resources, and opportunities that are available to you. A collaborative educational process, you and your advisor are partners in planning academic, personal, and career goals. The process is proactive on the part of both participants and has clearly defined responsibilities to ensure success.
